Boot loop - neither recovery nor download mode possible - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi,
got a bit of an emergency here. Maybe someone got a useful hint for me?
I've been running X-Power 3.0 ROM with Perseus kernel 32.1 so far and just finished undervolting the kernel via SetCPU - ROM booted up fine afterwards.
But today I decided to give Perseus 33 a try, and after flashing the TAR with ODIN mobile my phone won't boot again - it shows the "Galaxy S III" screen, blanks the screen again and then restarts again - I can't get the phone into recovery or download mode
Any hints on how to solve this one?

try pulling the battery out and trying to get into download again. I'd that doesn't work, you have to get a usb jig, that has a small chance of working.

Thanks for helping. I somehow got into recovery in between, but I can't tell why - AFAIK I did it all the same way times and again before, but now I was able to restore a CWM backup :good:

Try using TWRP recovery:

I wasn't meaning the Bootloop, just the Recovery itself once it was fixed.

Hello,
I had the same problem with another device. What me helped was:
1. Using a USB-Jig - then Downloadmode went on on its own
2. Flasing CWM- Recovery (with Odin)
3. AFTER THAT put out Battery for some seconds (10s)
4. CWM- was accessible
5. deleting cache and dalvik, (and did a factory reset but think that wasn't the point),
and bootloop wad gone.
Hope that helped,
Quantenkosmos.

Thank you this thread is how many months old .

[Q] Bricked Phone?

Hi all. I have a problem with an S5830 which was on 2.3.6 Stock+Root. It was network locked (even if with the code to check it said every lock was off), so I tried the factory reset solution listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9006090&postcount=1 using the code *2767*3855#. After the reboot my phone got stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing with Odin many different fw, with and without data.rfs just to be sure it wasn't corrupted, but my phone just keep looping after the samsung logo.
Is there an easy way to fix it?
Thanks
Just in case it can be useful, more details:
1) After the Odin autoreboot it keeps lopping without even displaying the samsung logo (display just go on and off), but if i remove/insert battery and turn it on it loops after the samsung logo.
2) Download mode, Special download, and Ramdump mode works, but Recovery mode don't.

For Recovery mode: did you tried when you release "Power" button, button "Vol Up" hold longer (when you see Samsung logo then release "Vol Up" button)?

The recovery mode in S5830 is only Home+Power, Home+Power+VolUP is RamDump mode.

Go to www.themythace.com/flash-stock-rom.html & follow the steps. After flashing, odin shows, closing serial port & rebooting device or something like that. Wait until pass appears. This time your device ends up in a boot loop. Now, take off battery & go back to downloading mode & reflash via odin. This time your device might boot. Atleast for me it did...
I never had a head ache & some one recommended me rooting !!!
Hmmm I'm afraid yours is bricked, though not unfixable.
When in odin did you use the right .ops file ?
Also, which recovery were you using ?
It is possible that your partitions are corrupted.

I used the correct Cooperv1 ops (I had flashed with it other times when I was trying custom roms). I was using CWM as recovery. Also I tought about the partition getting corrupted, that's why I downloaded an old stock rom with all the filesystem .rfs files (including data) to recreate them, but still it didn't work. At this point my only guess is that efs got corrupted in some way (I even have a backup of it but dunno how to restore it, did it with the "cat xxx > /file" procedure while tring to get the network unlock code).
When you say it's not unfixable, what you mean exactly? Anything that I can do at home without sending it to Samsung?
Thanks for your time.
Hmmm. I suspect your guess is right, perhaps someone else may know how to restore it.
I had to send mine to Samsung, and although they said they gave me a new motherboard I suspect they simply used jtag.

You can try searching about jtag & oneclickunbrick on google or on xda. Not sure what the processes involve but they help booting into downloading mode if you weren't able to before. But did you try what I suggested before ??

Oh then it wouldn't help. I can boot in download mode, but flashing a stock rom didn't fix it. I tried several times.
Put it in download mode again and flash again or try a different rom. If you have download mode it isn't bricked its fixable from home

I tried many times, with different roms, one package and not. Nothing fixed it. If it's the efs corrupted I think there is nothing you can do, even if I can go in download mode.
I think there is a way to flash cwm recovery via Odin you could try that, it could fix it but I'm not to sure but it's always worth ago
And when using Odin you just need ops file checked and one package checked and untick the first box were the three boxes are

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

[HELP] Can't unbrick my i9001

Hi everybody !
Yesterday, I swapped the sd cards of my gs+ but the phone didn't boot and stayed at the boot animation (CM10.1). So, I tried to restock it but Odin stayed at the AMSS download. I tried to install many other stock ROM but it was stuck at this thread. Today, I retry to flash CWM recovery and stock ROM but now it block at setup connection. I don't know why because I put the ariesve.ops file in the good section.
I have already bricked my phone many times but the restock worked fine.
What can I do ? Please help me I love my I9001 ! :crying:
Thanks a lot for your answers !

The best solutions is to go to a Samsung Service. I had bricked my phone to and i paid 100 $ and they changed my motherboard. Or go to a professional service.

The problem you had was caused by ODIN. I've had it to. You have to use a specific version of ODIN and that version is the one you finde in the recovery package you've just used. So beware in the future!

If you successfully flashed cwm via odin. switch off the phone. take out the battery and insert it back.
Connect your data cable to your phone(not to pc). Then press and hold volume up button and switch on the phone. When the samsung logo appears leave the button. When Samsung galaxy s plus logo appears, just tap the menu button(left touch button). You will get in to the CWM recovery. Then wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache (in advanced menu). Then flash a new rom.

Hi guys. I was using cyanogenmod 10 on my S6500D. Works good i think. And i can't play wild blood on my phone. I want to try chainfire 3d. After installing drivers for CF3D my phone is not working.

You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

Dont worry. Pull battery for 10sec and see if you can enter download mode. check this for your stock rom. This will do for now. You can later search for your region or flash a custom rom.

You flashed stock firmware using odin..? And, well.. you got two ops to access your phone other than using a Rom and that is recovery and download modes.

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

This might get you back your recovery. Flash this cwm.tar.md5 using odin. select the PDA option and select the .tar.md5 file you got now. Check if it restores your recovery and let me know.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..

You can but should have odin flashable files. Well if you find any then you can try it. But trying the ones you got already might work as you got the logo now.

As you fail to post any information not a clue .
Suggest you take the battery out for an hour .
If it still fails take it to a service centre .

Well it's a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305. Bought in Hong Kong. This happened after I flashed cyanogenmod. Odin said PASS but then the device booted and it stayed in download mode. I can access CWM recovery but that's it. I've tried installing a .zip version of CM but it gives me error status 7.
What about restore?

You mean restore from backup? I didn't backup (like an idiot).
Tried to flash stock rom with odin?
EDIT: You can also try emergency recovery in kies. It's a slow process but it might work.

Usual reply
Wipe phone in recovery format sdcard system data and cache .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
How would I go about doing emergency recovery? The drivers on my pc don't seem to be working as my phone doesn't show up.
Now my phone won't go into recovery mode. It just runs the CF Auto Root installer which doesn't do anything.

Downloading kies will download drivers also. Try that and see if it works.

I've tried but it didn't work. I also tried to troubleshoot the usb cable connection but all that did was claim it had fixed the problem. I still can't detect the device. I think I installed some third-party driver before but I did a system restore so they shouldn't be there anymore.
UPDATE: My PC now detects my phone

Not yet. I can't find anywhere to download the stock firmware I tried http://www.samsungis.com/Firmwares/GT-I9305-Galaxy-S3-LTE.html
but the mirrors are all from HotFile. HotFile has been taken down by the feds so I can't use that. Anyone know where I can download it?

Let's hope so. If your computer froze while flashing cm that may be some of the explonation.. I know i would have been in doubt flashing with an unstable computer.
How did it go Emma ?:highfive:
I'm having this problem now. I tried to update to the latest BTU model that I found on sammobile, but now I'm stuck in download mode, and it won't allow me to flash a new ROM. My phone is soft bricked right now. How can I get it to work?
